we were hoping for a big drenching. think of texas almost like a hot pizza oven and all we did was throw a napkin in it. this storm dissipated faster than almost any storm i've seen before. it didn't even go into the mountains and dissipate, it literally evaporated as it moves over brownsville. you can see it on the satellite imagery. it was the big red blob, and as soon as it got to the dry land in texas, poof. all of a sudden, don was gone. so not good news down there. the storm system is -- what's left of it, circulation is going to head for mexico anyway so it looks like just scattered showers and storms in texas during the day today. we'll take what we can get, but this wasn't the answer we were hoping for. there's not a lot of wet weather on the map, there are showers in missouri, also showers in the northern plains. your forecast for today, rain likely more or less in mexico, not texas. hot weather for dallas once again. warm and sunny in the northeast. as we go into the sunday forecast, we should see a lot of th

that is the big sticking point. harry reid busy trying to find republican support in the senate for this compromise plan he's going to come up. with he needs about eight to ten republican senators to switch over and say they are going to support him. we did have house speaker john boehner weigh in on this issue. if we can put his statement up, he says "the responsibility to end this crisis is now entirely in the hands of senator reid and president obama." house speaker boehner saying he has done everything he can to get this debt ceiling increased by that august 2nd deadline. he is saying the responsibility is with the democrats. all eyes have been on senate leader, republican senate leader mitch mcconnell to see if he will get behind harry reid and help him rally the troops. so far that hasn't happened. mitch mcconnell has said he wants the white house to come to the table. no word if that is going to happen at this point. again, right now all eyes are on the senate. senator harry reid's plan to increase the debt c

on the one hand we have people who say the government has grown too big. republicans are saying we cannot afford it anymore. it is hurting the economy. it's a vision for the future that is very, very different from our colleagues across the aisle who basically see government as much more engaged in the process and don't want to cut back on a number of programs, a number of initiatives, a number of policies that have been put in place over a number of years. and it's not quite that clearly divided by this aisle. there are people on both sides that have shades of one way or shades of the other way. but the reality is, if we look around the world and we lack at models as to what makes economies flourish and what makes governments financially stable, we see that an overgrowth of promises, an overpromising parliaments and congresses finally brings us to the point where you no longer can afford what you promise people. that's where we are now. and so without putting those practices in place, i fear that whatever we do won't be sufficient. we'll get the downgrade

the big difference is the timing and boehner's plan comes with a balanced budget amendment. what we're expecting to see ultimately is a compromise bill here between these two plans, and that's what's being worked on behind the scenes right now. harry reid trying to find enough senate republicans to come over to his side and vote a compromise bill through. of course, there's votes going on this afternoon. the main one to watch out for is going to be sunday, 1:00 a.m., when we get a procedural test vote to see if harry reid really does have enough support. he's asked mitch mcconnell to support him, as well. mitch mcconnell so far hasn't at least publicly offered his support. but behind the scenes we know that harry reid is trying to rangle support among republicans. >> one of those votes is happening there in the house. i want to play what was senate by the democrat of illinois. take a listen at this. >> our soldiers in afghanistan repeatedly asked admiral mullen yesterday, will we get paid? will our families get their checks? shame on the republicans for making that happen. i

and compromises have already occurred, big compromises. most of us on this side of the aisle really believe that the way we get at our long-term debt structure is a responsible approach that includes some revenues. now, i'm advocating cleaning out the goodies in the tax code so we can lower some tax rates. i don't understand how you can at the same time vote to gut the medicare program and vote to continue writing checks to big oil. i cannot imagine that i would vote to keep writing a taxpayer check to the most wealthy and profitable corporations in the history of the world at the same time i was voting to put medicare on a voucher program. saying to seniors, you know, if you're 83 and you got three chronic illnesses and you run out of medicare coverage, you're on your own. i can't imagine doing that. but we compromised. we compromised and said, okay, we'll set revenues aside for now. you won't vote for revenues, republican party, members of the house in the republican party you'll not vote for revenues, we tack revenues off the table. so
